Location is in fact OPEN! And let me tell you it was amazing. Opted for street side seating! Service was amazing and food was even better! Definitely will be going again! The atmosphere was so fun and welcoming and the flowers made it pop! Ambiance perfect!

Public/street parking is slim pickings, especially on the weekends. Avoid the place altogether if it's a rainy day. You have to stand outside to wait for your table, and it could take a while. I came for a bridal shower. It was scheduled way in advance, but we waited outside for a half hour waiting. We kept having to ask the host for updates. There's a small picture room with a chair and ring light for pics. This area can get busy and congested, but people are really patient and polite. It's a small restaurant and can get crowded fast! The food is really good. Everyone got something different, and none of us left disappointed. So if you're wondering what to get, close your eyes point and get whatever your finger lands on. They serve alcohol but I didn't try any. However, the espresso martini looked amazing and had great reviews from those who ordered it.

This review is definitely overdue, such a pretty spot for brunch. Beautiful florals, heaters all around and lots and lots of photo ops. My french toast was delicious. The service was fine, our coffee was cold and I remember it being really busy that day. Nothing bad to say but nothing great either. I'm happy to say I've gotten to eat here. (:

Love coming here with my friends for brunch, pretty decor and nice outdoor seating. Portions are huge as well. Wish they had more indoor seating since I have been seated outside every time I come there. Presentation is nice as well.

The place is perfect to go to brunch with your friends, the drinks are delicious and very Instagrammable. You will be able to leave with many beautiful photos and full of delicious food.

While the food at here looked absolutely stunning and was incredibly Instagram-worthy, the taste was a letdown. It seemed more like a feast for the eyes than for the palate, lacking in flavor and seemingly reliant on vibrant colors for appeal. Additionally, the service left much to be desired, as they seemed more focused on turning tables than providing a quality experience. On the positive side, parking was convenient. Overall, while it's a great spot for photos, I wouldn't recommend it for a satisfying dining experience.P.S- food is not halal.

Such a beautiful place and food was really great! A wonderful fusion of Asian and American flavors. The decor is also beautiful. This Palo Alto location is way better than the SF location. Only downside is parking is a little difficult to find, but so worth it!

Love Son and Garden for a ladies celebration. The cocktails are beautiful works of art. The food is amazing, definitely enough to share. Make sure you take photos, the perfect selfie Instagram spot.

Suchhhh a cute spot. They have a set up to take pics too. I honestly would come back here hands down any time I visit back. Such cute and yummy food it all just goes well with everything. Service was also nothing to complain about. If you're thinking about it, do it.

I absolutely adore this place. Usually a place like this is just cutesy and aesthetically pleasing, but it genuinely has really amazing food. The service is always top-notch, friendly, and attentive. We went in for our the Alice in Wonderland tea experience that we scheduled ahead of time but somehow the staff didn't see it on their end. We were nervous because we live 45 minutes away (yes, we make the drive because it's that good!) and also had our 14 month old with us, so we it was going to suck to not get the experience. But the staff pulled it together for us anyway and I was so grateful for that. It was no one's fault that they didn't get the reservation on their end, but the were kind enough to pull together what they had, very quickly too. The tea was great, the pastries were sooo goooood, and the setting on the table was just too beautiful. They also got an extra star, not only for making space for our daughter to sit with us at the table and being aware of not placing anything near her, but they also had a cute Frozen-theme paper plate for her for her setting. It was cute, like they really go above and beyond to make every single aspect super cute. I can't wait to continue to take my daughter here as she grows up!!

The food here is amazing. However, I would highly recommend making a reservation if you're planning to eat there for brunch on the weekend. Definitely, I would recommend the beef short ribs.

S&G is a favorite brunch spot of ours. The food is great, but the setting is what stands out - so whimsical and fun. The menu is over-the-top and unforgettable, from rainbow French toast to cotton candy drinks. A bit pricey, but memorable, delicious and well worth it - we always leave with leftovers. The staff is always warm and attentive despite the crowds. The outdoor seating with heat lamps is really cozy. Definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand.
